Then you have no choice but to simply tick 'no' (which means 'no I'm not answering').

They have no right to make appeal appear (or to be) conditional on saying if the appellant keeper/hirer was driving or not. That was officially banned by David Dunford at the DVLA over a decade ago.

Here's the same ZZPS webpage used by victims of Azure Parking:

Like I said on that thread, The DVLA and BPA issued a communication years ago that operators CANNOT make appeals appear reliant upon the keeper having to say if they were driving or not.

It's typical ZZPS scam conduct (just look at their Trustpilot reviews!) to send a keeper a notice saying they're liable under the POFA, yet refusing their right to appeal.

A keeper is perfectly entitled to appeal.

Here's the BPA and DVLA's stated position on this (thanks to Siross for this useful DVLA email). It is not allowed to appeal to make appeal conditional upon saying who was driving:

From the DVLA in 2014:

The new statutory Code & framework MUST stop operators and scum time-waster greedy cling-on DRAs from doing this to keeper appellants.

They've also added a £1.95 'handling fee' which is clearly an unnecessary abuse because PCNs are set too high already and are all about wanting payment!

The MHCLG's wider regulatory framework must ban that completely to nip potential 'cap' workarounds in the bud.

evening,

this is the response i have received?

Shall i reply with the following, or something else?

"Thank you for your email. I note your comments regarding the Single Code of Practice. However, as the Registered Keeper, I am under no legal obligation to identify the driver.
I have provided my grounds for appeal. Please now proceed to either cancel the charge or issue a formal rejection along with a unique 10-digit POPLA (or IAS) verification code so that I may take this matter to independent adjudication. I will not be providing driver details, and I expect you to handle this appeal based on the information already provided."

I'd say:

Dear ZZPS,

Stop lying, again.

The only applicable legislation is the POFA and Schedule 4 categorically does NOT 'entitle' you to pursue the keeper, unless the Act has been full complied with.

Further, the DVLA and BPA issued a communication to all AOS members, several years ago, reminding operators that they CANNOT make appeals appear conditional upon the keeper having to say if they were driving or not.

Send me a POPLA Code or shut up and cancel the PCN. Failing that, ZZPS and your client will be reported to the BPA.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

YOUR NAME
